I finished the third series of Peaky Blinders. The fourth series isn't up on Netflix yet so I've started watching the new series of Jessica Jones. It's good so far
Watching 'Madmen' at the moment and loving it - so full of nostalgia for the 60's. It is like a rolling technicolor advert for Chevrolet, Smeg, ponytails, stockings, Rolodex, lucky strike, Cadillac, bourbon, - very well done IMO.
I'm really enjoying this but I fancied watching something different at the weekend. I had been recommended Deadpool by a friend as we were discussing Marvel films. I'd missed it as I usually go to the cinema with the kids to watch the like of Ironman and Avengers, etc. As this was unsuitable for kids, it passed me by. I found it on Netflix on Saturday and I began to watch it at a very late hour which, considering I was working yesterday, was a bit silly. Anyway, I watched the first half hour or so. Really enjoying it! I'll probably watch the rest of it on Friday night and let you know what I thought
Yep, very informative - especially the taped phone calls between Nixon and McNamara.
The political intrigue and manoeuvring is quite frightening in retrospect - how they seem to sleep walk towards such a disaster.
I finished it at the weekend and now catching up with the second series of Iron Fist. So far, it seems to be better than the first series...which wouldn't be hard TBH.
Game of thrones is epic.
BCS imho is crap if you have watched breaking bad.
I enjoyed westworld tho a little slow to start.
Old one now but enjoyed house especially later in the series.
That's my entire box set knowledge lol
Not sure if it's on Netflix or Prime, but just finished watching Jack Ryan. Pretty good watch, need to find another boxset to watch now as there's not much on TV at the moment
Watched the latest Better Call Saul last night...it's the end of Jimmy McGill and the beginning of Saul Goodman! 🆒 I then watched a couple more episodes of the second series of Iron Fist. It's way better than the first series but it's been announced that Netflix have cancelled it and it won't return for a third series 😞
I loved the first series, the second series felt like they padded it out by 4 episodes after the success of the first series. Third and fourth series were a bit better, then it tailed off and was very samey to me. Mrs Monster gave up half way through series 5, at which point I was cataloguing my belly button fluff collection when she watched it :lol:
About a third of the way through this now, it's really good. In a nutshell the UN are hiding a gateway to a parallel universe and the 'other side' have sent a hitman over to our world. You need to pay attention though as the characters from both worlds are played by the same people, but have very different outlooks on life. Really worth a watch
currently watching altered carbon
5 episodes in and it's in places a bit style over substance but it's a reasonable adaption of the book (which i LOVE)
Just realised last night that the episode of Better Call Saul that I watched last weekend was the last one of the series 😞
Netflix have cancelled Marvel's Luke Cage 😞
I'm still working my way through Iron Fist and I started the second series of Making a Murderer last night.
So I'm watching Sex Education and enjoying it however I'm finding some of it odd?
I guess its all intentional but anyway..
I'm assuming its set in roundabout current time due to mobile smartphones etc, but all the decor of the houses feels very 70's/80's and all the cars seem very 80's/90's.
Also a few of the houses have a very American look/feel about them?

Yes, I liked that about it. The same is true of "the end of the f'ing world"
I'm not sure why, but it kind of isolates the story lines and some how makes the focus more on what's happening
